So the king got up and took his seat in the entrance of the city gate. His men were told,“ The king is sitting in the entrance of the gate.” Then all of them came and stood in front of him. While all of that was going on, the Israelites had run back to their homes.

The king said,“ I’ll do what you think is best.” So the king stood beside the city gate. His whole army marched out in groups of hundreds and groups of thousands.

When he arrived, there was Eli sitting on his chair. He was by the side of the road. He was watching because his heart was really concerned about the ark of God. The man entered the town and told everyone what had happened. Then the whole town cried out.

Here is a prophecy against Edom that the Lord gave me. Someone is calling out to me from the land of Seir. He says,“ Guard, when will the night be over? Guard, how soon will it end?”The guard answers,“ Morning is coming, but the night will return. If you want to ask again, come back and ask.”

The Lord said to me,“ Go. Put a guard on duty on Jerusalem’s walls. Have him report what he sees.Tell him to watch for chariots that are pulled by teams of horses. Tell him to watch for men riding on donkeys or camels. Make sure he stays awake. Make sure he stays wide awake.”“ My master!” the guard shouts back.“ Day after day I stand here on the lookout tower. Every night I stay here on duty.Look! Here comes a man in a chariot! It’s being pulled by a team of horses. He’s calling out the news,‘ Babylon has fallen! It has fallen! All the statues of its gods lie broken in pieces on the ground!’ ”

While all of that was taking place, Absalom ran away. The man on guard duty at Jerusalem looked up. He saw many people coming on the road west of him. They were coming down the side of the hill. He went and spoke to the king. He said,“ I see men coming down the road from Horonaim. They are coming down the side of the hill.”

“ Son of man, speak to your people. Tell them,‘ Suppose I send enemies against a land. And its people choose one of their men to stand guard.He sees the enemies coming against the land. He blows a trumpet to warn the people.Someone hears the trumpet. But they do not pay any attention to the warning. The enemies come and kill them. Then what happens to them will be their own fault.They heard the sound of the trumpet. But they did not pay any attention to the warning. So what happened to them was their own fault. If they had paid attention, they would have saved themselves.But suppose the guard sees the enemies coming. And he does not blow the trumpet to warn the people. The enemies come and kill one of them. Then their life has been taken away from them because they sinned. But I will hold the guard responsible for their death.’“ Son of man, I have appointed you as a prophet to warn the people of Israel. So listen to my message. Give them a warning from me.

A lookout was standing on the roof of the tower in Jezreel. He saw Jehu’s troops approaching. So he called out,“ I see some troops coming.”“ Get a horseman,” Joram ordered.“ Send him to ride out to them. Have him ask,‘ Are you coming in peace?’ ”The horseman rode out to where Jehu was. He said,“ The king asks,‘ Are you coming in peace?’ ”“ What do you know about peace?” Jehu answered.“ Get in line behind me.” The lookout reported,“ The messenger has reached them. But he isn’t coming back.”So the king sent out a second horseman. When he came to them, he said,“ The king asks,‘ Are you coming in peace?’ ” Jehu replied,“ What do you know about peace? Get in line behind me.”The lookout reported,“ The second messenger has reached them. But he isn’t coming back either. The one driving the chariot drives like Jehu, the son of Nimshi. He’s driving like a crazy person.”
